Let Gao Jiakai handle his own affairs; he'll have to deal with them eventually anyway.
Gao Jiakai replied dejectedly, "Yaoyao's mother asked me to video call her."
Lin Congzhi teased, "Not bad, you've won over your mother-in-law so quickly."
I was already in a bad mood, and Brother Lin's antics only made it worse.
Gao Jiakai complained, "Brother Lin, what time is it? You still have the mind to make sarcastic remarks here."
Lin Congzhi made a bold statement: "It's just a video call, is it necessary to be so emotional as if you've lost millions?"
Gao Jiakai was speechless: "Brother Lin, you make it sound so easy. The other party is a middle-aged woman I don't even know. I've never met her before, and then suddenly we had a video call."
Lin Congzhi retorted, "Since she's a middle-aged woman you don't know, what are you afraid of? Weren't you very capable in your work before? Weren't you very good at dealing with people?"
Gao Jiakai explained his predicament: "Brother Lin, discussing business is different from discussing marriage."
Lin Congzhi argued logically: "The difference is caused by your own psychological problems. I now seriously suspect that you have feelings for Yaoyao."
Upon hearing this, Gao Jiakai's heart trembled, and his expression underwent a subtle change.
However, as his vigilance increased, he forced himself to calm down and not reveal any flaws: "How could that be? I would never like that kind of impulsive woman."
Lin Congzhi had a sharp eye for judging people and books.
Even a fleeting glance is enough to detect subtle changes in things.
Gao Jiakai's clumsy disguise could not fool his discerning eyes.
However, he did not expose it to his face.
Because it gives the person who is psychologically distressed a way out, it allows them to go along with it: "Since that's the case, Yao Yao's mother won't put any pressure on you, so go ahead."
"Why!"
Gao Jiakai sighed.
Although he said he had no feelings for Yao Yao at all, in reality, he had developed some feelings for that girl, more or less.
Therefore, he felt uneasy and unsure of how to deal with this middle-aged woman who was not his "future mother-in-law".
Having already agreed to the video call, and unable to persuade Brother Lin otherwise, he could only silently retrieve his phone, then go to the guest room to speak with Cheng's mother.
After waiting for a few minutes, Cheng's mother was already impatient. She felt like she had been played. This person might not be her daughter's boyfriend at all, or he might be a scumbag.
Just as she was about to criticize Yao Yao, her phone suddenly rang.
Looking down, she saw it was a WeChat video call interface, and the wrinkles that had been bending over curled up again.
The guy finally made a video call.
The reason it took so long is probably because it was the first time meeting the parents, and I was inevitably a little nervous.
After forgiving Gao Jiakai, she clicked to answer the call.
In an instant, she saw the handsome young man.
Gao Jiakai was already sitting at the table.
He stood ramrod straight, his demeanor dignified, as if facing a stranger or Cheng's mother.
The young man on the screen looked exactly like the photo Yao Yao had shown her, and even more handsome. He was practically the perfect son-in-law in her eyes.
The anger in Cheng's mother's heart vanished, replaced by a kind smile as she greeted Gao Jiakai in the video: "Hi, I'm Yaoyao's mother, what's your name?"
The middle-aged woman was very simple, with almost no bright or flashy attire, yet she gave Gao Jiakai a sense of warmth and familiarity.
